assuming by schemes you mean schematics...

Circuit maker (free student version)

it can be downloaded from the net

great program
make your circuit and test it as well then print it out

Yes, you can download Lite version (has limited PCB space, not a problem) from www.cadsoft.de .

Hey! what’s wrong with Proteus? :roll:

Clunky, illogical, generally difficult to use, prone to crashing.

I use Circuit Maker 6 for schematics, and Ivex Winboard PCB for PCB design. I tried Eagle 4.1, and I did not like the program at all.
